Have fitted the electrics today and they all work  . So no turning them on with software magic which is always a good sign. Whilst routing the cables along the rear chassis X member I noticed a big metal swinging thing. What is this, couldn't see any wires going to it or sensors. The route my cables took was close to but not touching it. If the wiring does come into contact with it what difference will it make. I'll check again in a week or so to let the cables settle into their natural position. Also I couldn't find all the holes for the christmas tree gripper things to push into. Are they all there for a D3 or is there different holes for RRS. Assuming the electrics fit both? Where's the naughty corner?

There should be a harmonic damping weight at each corner under the rear bumper cover. They help to iron out any road \ chassis vibration issues at varying speeds Powered by TorqTune

Something to note - them swinging metal bits are very important in keeping the D3 "Magic Carpet" ride going. Keep checking to make sure they are swinging freely as if they go solid from collected dirt (usually after off roading) the ride becomes very stiff and solid. Happened to me a few times

Thanks. Will have a look in the week. Armed with some cable ties to make sure. Where's the naughty corner?
